Abell Goes Overtime Again, Picks up W
For the second consecutive night, Jack Abell baseball went to extra innings to settle the score; this time JA came out on top in a 6-4 win in another good game at Frostburg.
The opponent was a tough PermaSeal team that beat JA in the Pepsi tournament. Like the previous meeting, Permaseal jumped out in front with a run in the first and two more in the third. Abell fought back in the fourth though with a single by Nate Condor who was driven in by Colton Sivic’s double. Colton advanced to third and eventually stole home to cut the lead to 3-2. Abell jumped ahead in the 5th with 2 runs as Logan O’Brien walked and was driven home by Trenton Swans 3rd triple of the season. Swan eventually came home on an RBI by Caleb Sivic.
After Permaseal pushed across a run in the 5th inning to tie, Abell turned to Trenton Swan to pitch the 6th and 7th innings. Trenton pitched great, limiting PermaSeal to a single baserunner in each inning.
Abell went ahead in the top of the 7th. Trenton Swan reached base for the second straight time, drawing a walk to lead off the inning. Caleb Sivic moved him around with a single and Nate Condor and Colten Sivic drove them home each with hits of their own. Although Permaseal snuffed out the rally after that, it was too late to keep Abell from victory.
Both Nate Condor and Colton Sivic had three hits and Tyler Hotchkiss had two. Trenton Swan had a triple and scored twice and Caleb Sivic had a single and an RBI. Colton, Trenton, and Chad Broadway pitched a strong game as Permaseal only had three hits. It was a good win against a well balanced team. Abell hits the midway point of the season with a record of 5-3

Good Pitching, Defense Not Enough as Abell Falls
Despite good pitching and strong defense, Jack Abell Baseball lost to Frostburgs Farrady Post in extra innings by a 3-2 score on a chilly night in Frostburg.
After Farrady scored two runs in the bottom of the third, Abell scored one in the fourth. Tyler Hotchkiss lined a one out double and came around to score on a hit by Travis Yacuboski. Abell tied the game in the fifth when Nate Condor stroked a one out double off the fence and came around to score on a Colton Sivic double.
The Abell defense was strong all night and a big play in the fifth inning was a good example. With one on and one out for Farrady, the clean up hitter stroked a double to left field. Yacuboski hit the cutoff man(Condor) who threw a strike to the plate to gun down the runner. When the batter tried to stretch his double to a triple, Trenton Swan (catcher) ran at the runner, eventually throwing to Nate covering third, who threw to Broadway at second and back to Hotchkiss at third for the tag and the third out of the inning. This double play went 7-6-2-6-4-5 for those of you scoring at home.
In the bottom of the sixth, Caleb Sivic had the bases loaded, with the winning run at third for Farrady and a 3-1 count to the batter, before firing two strikes to get the batter, then three straight strikes to the next batter to get out of a tough jam. Despite all of this, Abell's efforts fell short as the big hitter for Farrady Post hit a home run in the 7th inning to win the game.
Although they didn't hit well, Abell played good defense. Nate Condor pitched 4 1/3 innings and gave up two runs. Caleb Sivic only gave up one run in 2 innings. Everyone on the Abell defense had at least an assist on a put out. Chad Broadway made a nice play on defense, as well as fly balls caught by Josh Riggs and Logan O'Brien. Trenton Swan threw out a runner trying to steal second.
Abell hopes to rebound against Perma Seal on Monday night.

Abell Pounded by Outdoor Power
Jack Abell baseball was brought back to earth after being thoroughly beaten by Outdoor Power at Ort on Saturday.
Outdoor Power jumped out to a quick lead in the bottom of the first, scoring 6 runs to take a lead. But Abell fought back in the top of the second, with 5 runs of their own. After walks to Hotchkiss, Yacuboski, and Riggs, Trenton Swan continued his hot hitting with a single to drive in Hotchkiss. With two outs, Nate Condor was able to drive in three runs, followed by a hit from Colton Sivic to cut the lead to 6-5. The heart of the OP lineup managed to put across three runs in the bottom of the second, and Abell was only down by 4.
But it went from bad to worse in third as walks, errors, and some hits put the game way out of reach. Caleb Sivic did a good job of throwing strikes and trying to keep his team in it, but the game was called after 4 innings as Abell falls to 4-1 on the season.
They are back in action on Monday at Frostburg.
